Putin’s business card from the 90s sold at auction for 2 million rubles – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

According to him, the fight was quite long. “Maybe five minutes, that’s a lot for an auction. And yet, it was set at this point,” said the agency’s interlocutor.

The business card presented at the auction dates back to the time when the Russian president held the position of adviser on international relations to the chairman of the Council of People’s Deputies of the city of Leningrad.

The description of the lot on the auction site’s website indicates that the phones are written in the hand of Vladimir Putin. The initial price was 1,000 rubles. Details of the winning bidders are not disclosed.

It is not the first time that business cards of the Russian president have been put on sale. So, in October 2019, on one of the sites where users can offer things for sale, an unusual advertisement appeared: a business card from Vladimir Putin. Judging by the text, we were talking about the period when the head of state worked in St. Petersburg and served as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the city mayor’s office (1991-1996).
